    No it just goes in the bin. That's their problem not mine. When I first moved I they were still getting 3 or 4 a day. I had no way to contact them but kept it all, a massive stack after a few months. Then I found out they had been back to visit a neighbour. You'd think they would knock in and ask if there was any post for them but they didn't bother so I binned it all.

    I hear ya, and sounds like the previous tenants were tossers, *but* the reason why you're still getting their mail is because you haven't informed the relevant companies sending then it that they no longer live there. So their shite will continue to come until you do something about it....

    Therefore, daftee, it's YOUR problem, NOT theirs, as they obviously don't give a fuck! So there's not much point in moaning, if you don't get off yer arse and DO something about it!

    Yes it is just that simple, you send it back and super efficient company/organization immediately take your address off their mailing list.

    Not.

    I much prefer the 'chuck it in the bin whilst complaining about it' option. It's more suited to my lifestyle.

    Dunno, my boys been getting calls and letters re a debt from the last tenant... now he has been telling them the guy left for about 10 years, and they say, ok we will note it, but all they do is sell the debt to someone else I think for you to go through it all again, to point now he just tells them to F off

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Well, it's worked for me whenever I've phoned them up. Guess I must just have a convincing voice!

    Ha - I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than get shed-loads of junk mail!

    Nah, of course not, but I minimise the amount of junk mail I get as far as possible, and calling them worked! Between that, and opting for as much 'paperless billing' as possible (we do almost everything online), sometimes many days can pass before any physical mail is delivered here...

    Junk mail's no bother really; far more of a nuisance is the flyers for takeaways/taxi firms/odd job men that get shoved through the letterbox. We do very occasionally get a piece of junk mail addressed to the previous owners, who moved out 25 years ago!
